Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (Nelson and Hardy) 2005 from Gibraltar (British Overseas Territories) made of Copper-nickel weighing 28.28 g is that it features an error in the design. The coin was minted with an incorrect portrait of Lord Horatio Nelson, which was later corrected in subsequent mintings. This mistake has made the coin a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
